Kachemak Bay Environmental Education Alliance's goal is to educate and inspire education and stewardship of Kachemak Bay.

VISION: We envision an environmental education system of excellence in Kachemak Bay that will inspire life-long learning and commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability among Kachemak Bay residents and visitors.

MISSION: We, the Kachemak Bay Environmental Education Alliance are united in our efforts to educate and inspire individuals and the Kachemak Bay community to actively participate in environmental stewardship as integral elements of a healthy sustainable ecosystem.

On March 4 – 6, 2000, representatives from over 15 marine, estuarine, and natural resource organizations involved in environmental education in the Kachemak Bay watershed came together to share their concerns and dreams for education in this region. One outcome of this 2-day forum held at the Kasitsna Bay Lab was the formation of an alliance of Kachemak Bay Environmental Educators (KBEEA).

Alliance members at this time identified and prioritized activities to focus on in coming years. Over the past 12 years we have 1) identified field educational sites and facilities within the watershed, as well as teacher resources (for field trips, pre-visit, and post-visit activities), 2) effectively communicated & coordinated existing/planned EE program content for students & the public with each other and our audiences, and 3) created a Partners in Education initiative among those organizations offering year-round EE programming.

Teachers are invited to visit www.homerfieldtrips.org for "one-stop shopping" related to program details & logistics for taking a field trip to the Kachemak Bay area.

Environmental educators are encouraged to join the KBEEA list serve or learn more about the Alliance's efforts by calling Carmen Field at (907)226-4659.

This website will be updated as new alliance projects get underway.
